Need some help
Mar. 13th, 2015 07:48 pmI need some help from someone with knowledge of visual technology. I'm having trouble with my Mockingjay DVD - I sent it back to Amazon thinking it was defective, but the replacement they sent me is the exact same. I've been searching around the internet to see if anyone else has mentioned problems, but no luck.
Taking pictures of a TV screen is a bit pointless, but if you can see from these - when there's any amount of shadow on the screen, the picture goes funky, like colour comes in streaks and patches instead of sharp detail (as on Katniss' face and shirt in the first 2 pics). When something is out of focus, it looks badly pixelated. When there's light, it distorts the image around it in a wobbly halo. What could be causing this? I know it's not my TV, because I've tried it on both my old-fashioned TV and my parents' HD TV and got the same result. All my other DVDs look fine. It's almost like I got a copy of a copy, but I bought it legit from Amazon. Can anyone please enlighten me?

abeautifullie3 for the heads-up on the photographical evidence of Jared's payback - Misha totally had it coming. He'll be digging nickels and dimes out of those seats for years. ;)

Mar. 2nd, 2011 02:10 pmOhmigosh Misha... LOL!! Check out the prank he pulled on Jared, as twit-picced by Clif - you can see the ole Pada-wheels turning, devising a way to get him back. ;)
Also... Sadie in the background! D'aww. :)

Supernatural 4x02 picspam
Sep. 27th, 2008 01:39 amSince last night's ep of Supernatural has been keeping me sane and unmiserable today, I thought I'd indulge and put together a picspam. I swore going into it that I wouldn't get carried away, but... I kinda did. Whoopsie? It was just such a visually-appealing episode, what can I say? :P
So, um, yeah. 252 pics, heh. I'm going to divide it into 3 posts so that I don't actually kill anyone's computer. Sorry in advance for the picspam spam!
Btw, I tried very hard to be as unbiased as possible in choosing these caps, but there might be a slight leaning towards Sam. No surprise, really (especially considering he got all the prettiest shots, ohmigosh), but I figured I should warn. Plenty of all the other characters, though, so I hope everyone finds it enjoyable. :)
( Part 1 is under the cut (major spoilers abound!) )

( An unhealthy amount of hi-res, massive, drop-dead GORGEOUS J-Pad pics are under the cut, so brace yourselves before clicking! Soooo not dialup friendly... )
